Use Cases for 3D Underwater Inspection

The UVision 3D scanner can be used for underwater inspection across a number of sectors including energy, civil infrastructure, maritime, and bio-diversity monitoring.

Underwater inspections of offshore wind turbines ensure structural integrity and efficiency. The 3D scanner detects early signs of damage or wear from marine conditions, helping avoid expensive repairs and downtime.

Bridge Foundations

River scour, the erosion around bridge foundations, threatens stability. A 3D model identifies and measures scour, allowing progress tracking over time to determine the best moment for intervention.

Waterways Inspection

The UVision 3D underwater scanner can be used to inspect waterways

Dams, locks, and weirs benefit from 3D scans of critical areas. The UVision scanner models waterway infrastructure for ongoing comparison and maintenance planning.

Ship Hull Inspection

The UVision 3D underwater scanner can be used to do ship hull inspections

The UVision 3D scanner inspects ship hulls, checking propellers, rudders, anodes, paint, and biofouling. Pole-based scans suit small boats, while ROVs handle larger vessels, ensuring thorough documentation.

Harbour Walls

Assessing harbour walls or underwater infrastructure requires knowing their condition. The 3D scanner reveals historical features, like old wooden piles, and modern reinforcements, aiding planning and documentation.

Pipeline Inspection

The UVision 3D underwater scanner can be used to inspect pipelines

The scanner creates photorealistic 3D models of underwater pipelines. Multiple units on a rig capture full pipe diameters, providing detailed insights for maintenance or evaluation.

Bio-Diversity Monitoring

The UVision 3D scanner maps the seabed to monitor flora and fauna. AI integration can identify sea grass, mussel beds, or coral reefs, enhancing biodiversity tracking.

Tunnel Inspection

Water-filled tunnels, like those in mines or near dams, are inspected with the UVision scanner. Mounted on a VideoRay Pro5 ROV, it provides detailed 3D models for maintenance.

Archaeology
